oh
maybe I will try making a bloom shader at some point
yes
thats cool
I know how bloom works
now whats a bloom
the only problem is that it might look a bit weird
oh
actually its a postprocessing effect and I think theotown shaders arent postprocessing
do you like set a brightness and tell the game if its brighter than this shade to illuminate it or something?
because you get separate sprites instead of a single screen
afaik its about using blur on bright colors
maybe a bit complicated than that but thats the basic idea
probably
apparently people like glowy things
but wont some white coloured buildings accidentally glow in that case?
I think so and thats a problem
since theotown wont let me separate glowing stuff from non glowing stuff
mhm
maybe there is a way to only activate it at night
maybeee
isnt there some fun thing that allows to use some animations in some dates or something?
if it works on shaders or not ๐คทโโ๏ธ
yeah I cant
what are those
if I figure out how to send values to shaders I can make it work at night with lua
thats assuming there's a way to get daytime value in lua which im not sure about
ask lobby
types of objects you can use in shaders
ohh
this thing filters off text and ui so its not affected by shaders
yeah i figured
Ayy the miami building has hit 2000 downloads
as far as i know from the knowledge i have beeing acquiring for over 17 years, 2000 downloads is at least 1 download far away from my previous 24 downloads milestone
Police station?
It's the new police station frames
For vanilla?
@cerulean tree Let's keep the random gifs out of here.
Wth I got pinged like 3 times and there's nothing here?
Yeah I deleted some messages that pinged you
They were just random gifs with no conversational value
can someone help me understand these "offset x" and "offset y"?
and i also dont understand why do these numbers are needed
so guys i have a little idea
bruh
๐
No way you literally created the TONK
lol
I could see this in an apocalypse setting.
fr lol
btw @echo prairie
your long-awaited tos-1
that's the rocket launcher from chipper ofc
What app are you using on this picture?
visual code mobile
Thanks Bro Hahaha
Tanks disguised as cranes?
very nicee
I don't see any stray pixels
There is a very light pink colored pixel at the top of the top fire escape door
I assume that's what he means
If it's stray or not 
Im quite busy on my work now, I don't think i could
๐จ
Looks a small bit scuffed, probably just needs finishing touches, and for one section to be completed.
Yes, but I can't take a stand, I try my best ๐
Plz i need help ๐ #plugin-support message
And plz can you tell me the difference between "density" and "people" ?
Hello, I would like to create some constructions from scratch, which application is best to do this?
When?
Check the pins
if you are on mobile pixly and pixelstudio would be good for u
dpa is also good tho it's hard to do noise but you'll eventually get the hang of it
@brave blaze might be because plugin creators dont make their fences rotation aware.
I made a fence but o didnt use rotation aware tag, other creators may be the same
Who cares about rotation aware anyway? I rarely rotate my map
Exactly
@wet bone wrong channel? or is that actually a suggestion
@brave blaze you can't do that
Its just not possible
suggestion
what is the suggestion lol
the person?
the laptops?
because hate to break it to ya, everything except the person in the image is too small
laptops that can make a air strike
no i m4ean is a item that u can spawn like a nuke
but u have to like upgrade your armyheadquaters
idk i like to roleplay
yea my bad
So basically you want the ability to send airstrikes?
lmao
looks really cool
More Japanese buildings yay! Miutendo? Lol
yea
i thienk it wuud be cool
I want to ask you a question. Is TheoTown a city building game or a war game?
yes
youre a funny guy
"houses"
idk it can be both well i roleplay so yea both
The point being its a city building game
rather than a war simulator
both
my guy what
T_T
I once threw a rocket on my city suburb
role-playing doesn't mean automatically "war"
Depends on the views of the readers
Delete this channel because hate plugins
i think the reason why people keep asking for a war thingy is because there is no other good war sim game on mobile
on it
Fighting nice aliens on their saucer is roleplay 
and tt is probably their best and only option, not supporting the idea that there should be a war update on tt
Simply because TT is the best game
yea it woud be good
this guy gets it
It was, it is and it will stay
military functionalities are now possible using the current plugin system
True, it'll be like this forever
yesh
Maybe Lobby and JA should make one
Both? Lol ๐คฃ
[game name]
by the creators of theotown
theotown: world wars edition
nice
meanwhile ja and lobby still untangling a decade old code
dam
hi
you can't go further right....
why nobody uses LUA in plugins? (except for tools)
Cool
would you like to learn lua to makke plugins?
i leant lua to make plugins
simply, most plugins dont need lua, and most people arent proficient at coding like at all
Exactly
you need to learn lua to make plugins
most of the features can be implemented with json
Most people dont want to go through the process of finding how lua works
in fact, more than half the people dont even know what a json is or how to write one
For the sake of modding I have studied lua, even at a basic level, I will not make some tree planter, but something small but cool - I can.
i do mods for mindustry
in mindustry 75% of mod features can be implemented with json
Yeah and theotoen anything basic can be done with json
hadestia, haraya, kulche and ian are people that use lua
and are really good at it
idk if anyone else thats well known uses it
Ooh erk too
5 people
If I keep making plug-ins, I think I can become a junior-programmer.
learn lua by making plug-ins for a city-building game
Yeah thats how it is
json is pretty easy
If you learn lua, I'll post a link to a paid job creating places in roblox.
Not interested
at least you'll be able to explain to your mother why you sit at a computer 12 hours a day - you make money)
xD
ill just stick to plugins
i havent really found anything i want to do with lua yet
i have an idea: government support building: if you don't have enough money, it pays you extra, but it is itself very expensive to provide. I couldn't do it because I don't have a privileged key. However, I do have the code! but I lost it)
i dont have a previledged key either
but honestly the logic doesnt make sense
you are the mayor/government
Are you like printing money?
๐
Anyway, the name doesn't matter, let it be support from another state or similar.
i thinked about it too
sounds like large scale insurance
but game has airport, logically, it's a similar thing
sounds like new mechanic
doesn't seem like anything useful to me though
relatively, but if you think about it, you can stabilize it and make it useful but dangerous
Its how small countries survive
Or countries going through recessions and defecits n stuff
like the threat of nuclear war with small exports and large imports.
like a missile test silo, lots of money but risks.
Where is this? Is the building from America?
looks like south korean architecture.
in fact it's possible, since you have a rocket in Theotown, to bring down the Alien flying saucer, so if we override the texture of that with a military plane for example, you could simulate that, however like the Alien and the military base are part of a DLC you cannot be able to override this
kyoto
I think
Very nice
anyway it's more legit to kill aliens than theonians
jeez
we really need more boat plugins
Admiral Carl ones are very small
there aren't a lot of battleship plugins
and most of ships has cut off front parts
Efranz made a lot
That's since a theotown update
ik but it's still not enought for me
Tlmep but I don't really know who would make planes and ships for it
Are u on Burgermanm server
The bus guy
yup
Well it looks a lot then ๐
Also alpha kraft made two megayachts based on Google earth pictures, but they're a bit smooth and bright
He made a rotation version, you can ask him for it
oh
(Just 2 rotation)
then i need to ask him
you mean the 2 rotations of these ships
@midnight obsidian do you like this design more?
same colour pallete
even the accent wall colour
might make that colour darker though since its on the right now
it looks okay I guess
why "i guess"?
3x3?
looks like 2x2 to me
interesting
not sure if the angled wall fits though
i kinda failed at what i was trying to do
it didnt turn out the way i imagined it
wanted to do a semi circle
it turned out like
whatever that looks like non isometrically
half a circle
this shape for the top
except i didnt do the angle right i suppose
I see 0 circles in your plugin
The other wall on the front building face?
compared to this, left the glass cause i wanted to do that together
wait what do you mean otherwall?
Guys I am currently stuck in a porta potty and I've been stuck here for a few days but I'm making a plugin rn : )
tf are you actually ktm
Does anyone know the name of this snow plugin?
yes it is
cool
Cool
yea I'm KTM why
It looks like snow and a tree doesn't grow in sand ๐ฑ
they kinda do-
yes
they do
really depends on what type and in ehat part of the desert they're
Yes! It depends a lot on the type of tree and this tree does not grow in this type of soil
i mean.. its a game
how can you make a set of buildings hav a especial zone just for it to not be built on vanilla zone?
eeeee :>
We're getting there
Thanks guys for 500k download ๐ฅณ
i did get there before but i deleted one of my plugin but yeee so excited hehe
wowwwww ๐
see i was just thinking that
thang god for your bio
Yeah, ๐
" Matthewfilbert15 "
What happened to matthewfilbert1 to 14?
@burnt fjord be more specific on what you want
How much Time does it need to get plugin approved plz?
1 month
sorry, private
Congratulation
Thx
Really ??
Yes, im waiting my familymart plugin, for 1 month
Yes same..ok its basic shape,but is it that terrible? Its exactly what stores looks like in France lol..
Anyway..๐ฅ
The main issue i can see are the outlines
You plugin shouldn't have outlines
Also, you should add shadows on the right side on the ground
You mean i cannot add Barrier? The ground is transparent to add decals
outlines
What is outlines? The terrain around the building?between store and barrier?
google it
the railings are fine, although a little tall
that's the part where the outlines are visible the most
Ok so i need yo change the color of the blue Line inside? Sry my english is not perfect
well, if that's what you mean
So thx for your help,ill try to make it better and change outlines colors so,and reduce railings too
About a week for me usually
Needs improvements tbh
Honestly not the worst ive seen
Ill work on it,i spent Many hours,its 1st Time i draw something ahah,thx everyone ๐
For your first plugin this is actually pretty impressive. Not bad, I've seen worse
Thank you
Yes it is,like ikea stores in France,on even Carrefour ect
piss tower
I dont like biluildings that are flat like that
Well that was just like in rl
The buildings are really flat
looks like your piss is super yellow, drink more water
You think so now guys huh?
Yeah yeah I'll drink plenty
Tease the rl building guys
Anyways...
WIP
I like these two
I don't like the colors unless it looks like that in real life.
It is like that in rl
But I'll try to adjust the colors and anything that could be possible to make it better
what makes you to need to make it vertical
that's just a regular building
The maps, and illustrating how to make that tricky building
but uhh
ok Ig
lmaoo
||lmao same||
the server is very dead since yesterday, it is what it is i guess..
Wow it's like every person has other things to do irl like school, work, etc
(Except discord moderator, they don't go outside)
so bunny doesn't have a life?
Whoopsโฆ did I say very bad?
Sorry ๐
Iโm just thinking that every morning when I wake up then using discord, a few more messages will be appeared in this channel
really you did nothing wrong
can I put a tilte or text into a composition?
Who tf ping me? Got pinged 12 times...
also how do I set composition for RCI building?
They got banned
Iโll finish a few upcoming plugins tomorrow (ig)
take your time๐
Do all plugins cost diamonds
all plugins in store have a price in diamonds if you play on the mobile version
if you want free plugins you can use the forums
help
I am looking for these grey boxes plugin ๐
i believe it was one of von's airport plugin
Zurich airport
hey all, i am new on making plugins and want some easy ideas that can teach me something, for now i hav made a residential lvl1 s that can provide religion couse the girl that lives there is way too connected with nature and spirituality lol, it also provides a tiny bit of nature and it also costs 1t per month couse she works for the town.... what else... it is rotation awere
a simple 1x1 house
Someone know the name of this plugin of this Airbus?
Private
tha iv learned already
Simple props
Like boxes
Urban stuff
Fences
Also a 2x2 house
Don't worry I'm pretty sure that the plane is part of the Munich airport pack. We just need to wait for Bokoblo to finish his preview for the plugin
@gray apex
Thanks so much dual
To make a house or building that id rotation aware, you will need to draw 4 frames
"rotation aware" : true,
4 frames?
Damn
Who is even do 4 frames
Some people ig
i done it, also is there a way to determine what frame would be facing up and what frame would be facing down or no need? (just so it would properly face the road)
Ooh okay let me find the tutorial for you in that case, might take a few minutes
nice, thanks
and that few minutes eventually turned into few hours
oh i couldnt find it while i was eating
and after i was done eating, i forgot
average after-eating-experience
its hard to find something i saw once before and cant remember where it was
cant find the tutorial but this seems to be how they should be facing.
This image belongs to kiki/yakka
yellow and back towards the road
Kikiyaka
awsome, thanks
working on a low density S home โค๏ธ
giid luck
he went by kiki before and rebranded himself to yakka but i still call him kiki
These names are so funny
well i say kiki or yakka
Nice swimming pool, different from the others
what does it to ian?
It does what's stated in the article (I presume)
try to swipe the button.
Have there been plugins like this?
I agree
What's TheLeafs discord server
discord server owned by theleaf
๐
a fun server from leaf
he posts leaf plugins in the leaf server
leaf also talks in the leaf server
i just found how to define "handle y" in fence
handle y = texture height - 8
but I can't find it on slope, can someone help pls
Marq ๐ญ
That suggestion~
:>
When new plugins
Oh and why my plugin staying at the new plugins category so long?
St. Pancras
Top i mean
@rotund hemlock as the name suggests, plugin suggestions are just that. Suggestions. Plugin creators can make them but they dont have to. They make what they please. If you so badly want something to be made into a plugin, please do so yourself.
Can someone make a armored core mech plugin?
plugin suggestions go in #plugin-suggestions but no promises that anyone will ever make it
Ok thank you
Some very generic ones, yes
Any thoughts on this suburban house?
Thinking about making a pack from this
Wow
But make it modular pleaseee
And and
Add a car
It seems so useful
Too contrast colors
Do the contrast a little few
Fast question
Do you know if making Elongated Plugins (Example, A 3x6) requires anything special?
Or do I just have to put in the code that it is a 3x6
How i know, game supports only square-like buildings. Do it modular, or make it self-building with lua
Make it modular/having different pieces
I ask because I have seen Plugins that are directly 3x6 or similar
But I think I'd better do it in parts.
That's what the colors look like IRL
Many suburban homes have at least one side made of brick, the other sides are then made of vinyl siding
Usually white or light grey
Will do
Needs window outline, they're a bit empty, like it's a hole, great work anyway
Any suggestion on how to improve this?
On this part im a little bit confused on where does the sunlight come from, rn im assuming it came horizontally from the left side
something like that
shadow of the objects is equal to its height
@dim rivet feel free to repost that without the spoiler tag. That format is annoying
Wdym spoiler tag?
Did i accidentally send a spoiler?
I think the first house is pretty much done
Wow
shadows when
I make Scandinavian home
pretty glass โจ
There are shadows, it's just really hard to see them considering both faces of the house are two different material. If the house was just plain vinyl siding, instead of the front face being brick, then you'd see the shadows a lot better.
there are other things that cast shadows
like the house itself, or the dormer thing
good mornin kulche
???????????????
i do, i just like wishing people their good mornings. Makes it seem like im wishing them a good day
but it's evening in kulche land
evening plugin
no?
oh so that was kulche
what was your latest thing
cant seem to remember anything after the bite sized playground set
Eventually, yes
Did some minor tweaking:
Nice
yeah
Yeah
Because We LOVE Skyscrapers so muchhh
Just delete other plugins and make Skyscrapers only
For our beginners
Is that the building from NYC?
Cool is it 4ร4 or 5ร5?
5x5
Cool
no its based off a building in Brazil
Really?
as u can see the shape is the like the only thing close to it
cus im lazy to do anything else
Why its taking so long to build this one
kantohq
it looks nice
kantohq
Probably because the author set the building time way too high. Unfortunately i don't think he's gonna fix it, I haven't seen Admiral (the author) these days.
F i cant complete my capitol project
Why? Can't you just wait until the building is finished...
I cant even click it
what?
Maybe because the build limit is : 1
If that's not the case then I'm not sure
@thick gyro when making plugin suggestion, be more specific on what you want. If you want to see how it should be done, just scroll up the channel
Jollyann comments go here
Hm?
you sent a comment in #plugin-suggestions
Ah ok
I want to learn how to make these plug ins. There's so many things I want and then can't find.
what do you need help with
Everything. I haven't the first clue where to even start
get a pixel drawing app
check the pins
they should help you greatly
afterwards, feel free to ask questions
Articulated train, my guess
The second train look like a nyc train
My next plugin:
Tranzit
And maybe
Although, I still haven't learned how to make trains and car chains.
lmao
Si we
hill
This time, I will try to organize everything to get the plugin out as quickly as possible
@grave gust
Haraya Motors wanna invest on that
That looks so good ๐
do la paz cable cars
Maybe, add cablecar skins
maybe
cable train
this is cool
yeh
This is unexpectedly cool
I use the same concept for my hanging monorails
Yours is way better
And Androxโs thing is way better too
I'm waiting for that ๐ ๐ก
Very nice, I actually have textures for cable cars if you want

Of course!
I wanted to make a ski resort plugin
With cable cars, ski lift and also ski slopes, hotels and alpine lodges
But right now I am considering more and more to work on a "Transport" pack with all vehicles ranging from buses, trams & subways to high speed trains, ferry or airliners
Kinda Maxโs railroad expansion but 2.0 and with buses, trolleybuses, shuttles and much more
- an add-on with cars, sailboats and other private vehicles
Shuttles 
Hi hi hello thobby!
Right now tho I am working on my modular university pack
Nice to see you tree master
Not the space one ๐
Iโd love to make trees again
Still havenโt released my olive tree and eucalyptus tree pack
Once Iโll have more time Iโll try
Right now tho, I am working on a pack with multiple modular universities
For example Iโll have various modules for an university in the style of Paris Dauphine
Pretty successful plugin might as well make it even more successful lol
Or another in the style of Oxford
hmmm
But rn I am looking for people to help me cause Iโll have a lot of work
Oh but I know how to make it
I just am looking for volunteers who would like to help ๐
I do want to make a procedural building pack tho
Where some stuff like wall colours, roof colour or height is randomised
@keen helm by the way, we dont allow conversations in #plugin-suggestions anymore
Right, I was off for a while so I wasnโt aware of that, my apologies
yeah i figured, dont worry
test
Themax's railroad transport expansion
To be honest, it could be better
What Can i do so?
Understood thank you ๐
Yo your back! (Again)
sup
Oh my gosh!! So beautiful
@sinful meadow I remember that you made a cable car plugin too
NO MORE SHUTTLES they bounce all over the place, you can't get any sleep even though you've been up since 4:30 in the morning, and just the slightest bump, and I mean like 1 inch will make it feel like you just went flying.
By shuttles, I mean stuff like airport shuttles and so on ๐
Oh, short distance, that's better, I was thinking of the shuttle I took to OKC and will have to take again on monday.
Airport bus ?
that looks really nice !!!
though i did have a slight inspo
anyway im using the colour thing on it
colouring using json
gonna make a 2 floor and 3 floor version
i wonder if i can set them all to not spawn automatically and use them all as frames for a building
maybe itll get spammed less
Is it finished and ready to be released?
รsterschmirtz when new plugins
It's hobby
i love it
Yes xd
Show it please
Niceee
So it's WIP
insane
no spreading misinformation
thnaks
Hello could anyone give vonarkโs discord server
Brut
Wait

when la paz
Same
Pidroid keep on nerding my messages
Nooooiiiice
Beautiful Cars ๐
Finally! A decent cable car plugin
Denle this
You maybe didn't put a higher amount for the spawner.
just looking for alternatives
fixing it would mean that I need to add way more lines
so how do we counter this
and also would like to highlight this
the asphalt is a bit squiggly
wavy
idk how do i describe it but it visible
I did
c00l
"car spawner": {
"cars": [
"$CABLEBUS01"
],
"radius": 200,
"targets": [
"$CBendPoint",
"$CBStation"
],
"count": 24
I hate json
the thing is, those roads were not part of my vision initially lmao
it mostly happens because plot 1 and 3 are disconnected by 2 and 4
MewMew = miau
MiauMiau
ye
meu
Me
mehu mehu
flagsโฆ
actually I can fix this
Something like this:
"car spawner": [
{
"targets": ["$ITPYK_PLS00","$ITPYK_PLS01","$ITPYK_PLC00", "$ITPYK_BB200"],
"cars": ["$ITPYK_TRBB200_PAN"],
"count": 1,"radius": 4096
}
],
My code is still in progress to use the new target stuff....
I completely forgot about that, you should finish that. If you have the time and motivation.
i could also release the red building only
Hmmm, target is for?
hmmm
it's simple english
no more questions
okay i'm just not feeling like plugining so i think i'll just make these yellow buildings without all those walls
box
this legit reminds me of a school
please fix this as well?
ass ๐
what
wtf
bunny what are you doing
a simple building using animations
idek where these are even coming from
Wth
Darn I love it
๐๐ okay remind me later
on it bapaque
huh how
wait hold on now i know what you meant by that
corrected it lol
so when should i remind you?
2030
i set a y coordinate on the main frame by accident
:>
Poop building
๐ญ
roof is still prbably too bright
or maybe its good enough
ill adjust the colour later
what da boat doin
bad plugin i rate it 0 out of 5 stars
what do you mean wheres shadows
im not making them
and im not releasing this, i gave an old building that was annoying me a makeover
no winter frames?? Does it shoot lasers ?
original
i rate you 0/โ
high resolution makes it low quality
either way that is low quality lol
O, the paradox
theotown logic
dont think i can get this shade using colour but meh
Noise is too big
Sarcasm?
it was genuine
that building would fit perfectly in fantasy themed city
or just a cafe at a corner in a downtown
Looks like it was made out of cardboard. Not trying to be mean here
TBH, i dont really care what you think, i did it for myself.
I have a solution but it's not perfect ๐ญ๐ญ
Does anybody know a plugin that has a functional taxiway (i.e aircraft runs on taxiway the same manner as a vehicle on a road does)?.
vรถnark did make something similar
But it was kinda broken, unfortunately i may have lost the files. It was a really old plugin
But it is still available on his server right?
I also try it, car types doesn't support wide car texture (dummy planes), it simply crops out
If i remember correctly the plugin was made in 2021, sorry if I'm wrong
me when the
What
Is there any plugins with a lot of residents and commercials? Im getting tired of having to build the same tier 3 resident plugins
woah
Maybe that solved the problem of the pillars on the slopes and the decorations of the tower.
Cool
The Station
Will there be other station designs?
la paz finally ๐
beautiful plugin
I wanted to express old buildings in Korea, so I added strong noise.
How fascinating it is
impressive
lovely
rip plugin store
Finally, justice
I know many people would like to make plugins. It is extremely complicated when following the tutorial on the forum.
Maybe for people who are not familiar with some things
started making the Dudziarska 40 B
i will make them 3 parted
There was first attempt
i think i did big progress in plugin spriting
from this
i will show timeline of my buildings
Oh god lmao
Only 7? Damn
The game maybe need promotion
Woaww it's the best result of all time for me
good job :)
dying
bruh๐
ah, i guess it's that thing in paris
Yes
